Okay. If any of you are actually going to do anything, this is where we'll start. Here's a few of the ideas we've tried over the past months:

Wingdings
IRL Box Spam
staff PMs

post if you want to do something.

They deleted Mischief makers sad

And if you are one of the people who thinks we're not done and you have been here helping, thanks.

If you think we're done, I'm sorry for sending out these announcements and stuff. It's not meant to bug or guilt you, it's meant to utilize the people who SAY they think we're not done.

What exactly would people do with Mischief Makers? o.0 Going on TV and asking Gaia to fix the offers kind of defeats the purpose that Mischief Makers is supposed to have - it's negative publicity and takes a prize away from someone who's doing it because he or she legitimately likes Gaia.

Didn't we have a sign-up for teams that should position themselves in towns with wingding shirts? Because I recall getting a wingding especially for that purpose as well as filling in people in groups after whoever held in the thread stopped holding the thread...

Personally I think we're as done as we can be. Sweden doesn't have any offers left anyway, so it's not like I could check on any further progress on that front.

The PM I wrote to Fin never got a reply, which was quite a downer.

Yeah, the wingding shirts never went through... that can go on the list.

the mischief makers plan was to submit a bunch of videos telling gaia what we want done with the offers with hopes that they would see them. There'd be no aim to win, if they even nominate winners anymore. Or look at the submissions.

I'll help with whatever I can. smile I dunno when I joined this guild. I basically did it to add another number onto people who don't support the offers on Gaia. But your announcements got my attention, and I'm willing to do whatever I can to help. I think that the credit card offers are still scammy, and that they need to go.

If you guys make a plan of action of what to do next, I recommend making an announcement about it. If the action involves wanting people in Towns, or on the forums, I'm sure other inactive people in the guild would pop by to show their support.

I agree.
This needs to change.
Luckily, I have a three day weekend this week. Let's do this.

Seems like it's not the will we are lacking, but the plan, judging by these responses at least. Maybe that's why it all went down? Because all that activity and bustle just ebbed out without anything happening.

I think it's because our aim is still a little fuzzy. Fuzz=bad.

Yeah, well... it seems we have become a dissatisfaction guild of sorts since people generally seems to just want to complain, even if it isn't offer-related.
As far as I remember it, this guild is here to make the offers safer. If that's still our goal, then we have to decide when it's safe enough.

Personally I aim for safety, how gaia choose to get their income after that is not really concerning me as long as it is legal. And yes, RIGs, EIs and everything else in the CS is legal.

Ah, okay. That sounds like a better idea. :]

Okay. I'll quickly and sadly point out that gaia trashed mischief makers, so that's out. However, The three others still remain. I'll port out the staff PM list so we can get started on that.

I'm assuming everyone saw my announcement earlier.
Hopefully we'll get some more ideas.
PostPosted: Sat Apr 17, 2010 2:44 am


I think we have acomplished all that we can.
I don't think that gaia is going to remove the offers entirely.
IF they do it will be because of reasons other than us.

I do not have any ideas of what we could do right now other than monitor the offers and alert Gaia of scams, viruses, non gold granting or inapropriet offres.

I like the idea of the Wingdings.
sending private messages to the staff is probobly more effective.
we could wright a private message and then have a guild reprisentative send it.



I would like to keep getting the announcements because things change and this guild my be nedded in the future.

we could declare victory and throw a big party!

It's hard thinking what to do about this, although one thing I do see when people want to get the word out is a group submit avatars into the arena and link them all via the tags. I saw the 'HELL NO! WE WON'T GLOW!' lot do it once and some others showing the appreciation of the gasmasks.

What I think should be done about the offers is a gaia mod should go through them and complete them, then they can properly filter out what is and isn't a valid and safe offer. Although, to get them to do that would take a lot of convincing and I'm not too sure how that could be done.
